The influence of meat on human behavior
The animal protein labeled "meat" actually comes from the muscle tissue of vertebrates after death on land. Specifically, the meat comes from cattle (yellow cattle, buffalo, bison); Deer (roe deer, sika deer and reindeer), camels, moose and single mountain camels; Goats and sheep; Donkeys and horses; Rabbit, rabbit; American porcupine, hippo, kangaroo; There are also domestic pigs, porcupines and wild boars. The meat of vertebrates in the ocean is also eaten by human beings, so: fish … We can't forget that fish is also a kind of meat, and so are other aquatic animals, such as whales, frogs and various birds, such as chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, ostriches and various game birds. In addition, carnivores brutally kill and eat many invertebrates, such as mollusks (octopus, squid, squid, clams, snails, oysters, clams and other shellfish); Shelled aquatic animals, such as freshwater crayfish, freshwater crayfish, European lobster, lobster, dolphin bay shrimp, crab, spider crab; Echinoderms, such as sea urchins and sea cucumbers.
All these protein from the animal world mean an absolutely bloody massacre, which is not only unnecessary, but also immoral. Carnivores must also suffer from physical diseases caused by toxemia, even cancer, and psychological disorders caused by aggression. We know that the so-called "meat" is actually muscle tissue, which contains saturated fat and is the most unhealthy food. Animal viscera is not muscle tissue, but people who love meat still like to eat organs such as liver, kidney and brain. What people also eat is actually part of the complex stomach of ruminants. There are many kinds of sausages, pork chops, bacon, ham, trotters and so on. People also eat tongues and oxtails, and so on. In China, there are dog meat, animal offal, not to mention caviar, and some rare birds and animals that meat eaters like to eat.
In short, it was a terrible massacre, a real disaster.
After eating a lot of animal protein, human behavior has been deeply influenced. In nature, carnivores are usually very fierce and aggressive, while non-carnivores are peaceful and gregarious. In addition, it can be clearly found that if people stop eating a large amount of high-protein diet, especially meat, their personality will gradually become gentle. As we all know, although dogs are carnivores, if we feed them more meat than usual, they will be more defensive and attack strangers. Similarly, in wartime, when a soldier will take part in a highly dangerous military operation, the military will give them a lot of meat. Meat, like medicine, can arouse the hatred and violence of soldiers and reduce their moral sense. Homer wrote in the Iliad that every soldier will be rewarded with a feast of wine and meat before going out to war, which is the reason. The famous philosopher seneca once pointed out that you can see among people who eat a lot of meat: tyrants, abetting butchers, fighting between relatives and compatriots, abetting murderers and slave traders. But in vegetarians, you can find meticulous and harmonious behavior. German chemist Justus von Liebig told us that if the bears in Giessen Zoo are forced to use meat instead of fruits and vegetables, they will appear restless and dangerous.
Just like the history of human diet described by J- Dalemont in his Handbook of Mental Health Care, we can say that physical health care is mental health care. The slogan "Eat meat for energy" is an excuse made up by people who eat meat in society. They think that this society is based on competition. In order to compete freely and climb up, they must wear aggressive masks in order to get ahead and win the needs of life.
Sociobiology simply explains why eating meat has a negative impact on human behavior. As you can see, people are easily influenced by environmental factors, especially diet. One of the important facts comes from "German philosopher Fellbach" in 1855, which means "what you eat is like what you eat". In fact, a century ago, at 1728, the famous Italian scholar Becagli (Ph.D., chemist and chemistry teacher at the University of Bologna) said a fair word, "Quitalius sumus, nisi it undefine Ali mur? If we are not like the animals we eat, what are we like? ), made a comment in advance for what Fellbach later said.
It is no coincidence that these two great thinkers happen to be vegetarians. In particular, Becagli found gluten in protein of animals and plants and its inducement to human body. Man is not only a digestive tract filled with food, but also a thinking creature. Like other parts of the body, the human brain must be nourished by blood through metabolism. Most of the food we eat now comes from the food industry that only makes money, ignoring the dietary needs of our bodies. Just as orthodox medicine is funded by the pharmaceutical industry, we can say that the so-called "nutrition" is actually controlled by those chemical food industries.
This kind of industry, especially the industry with animal protein as the main product, is just an industry that specializes in manufacturing and selling "junk food" with the help of the media. If we turn a blind eye to the behavior of this kind of industry and let humans and other animals eat corpses, it will inevitably lead to the violent tendency of humans and other creatures. 200 years ago, the Latin satirist Juvenalis (the tenth satirical poem, page 5 12) explained the close relationship between body and mind with the immortal famous saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" (a healthy mind comes from a healthy body).
If you want a healthy mind, you must have a healthy body, which means we should put health first. After Zhu Wenna, John Locke, an English philosopher in the17th century, also affirmed Zhu Wenna's statement in 1693. He said, "A smart and healthy mind needs a healthy body first."
This is the most important place of vegetarianism. Vegetarianism can help the body detoxify and purify the blood supplied to the brain, make our minds more sober, and then move towards a truly open mind, a mind with self-control and the ability to withstand high intelligence and physical labor, so that we can behave gracefully, speak gently and politely, not easily quarrel with others, and know how to get along with others, love others, get along with others and share with others.
From the electronic activity in EEG, it can be seen that vegetarianism will stimulate alpha waves, which shows that neuromuscular relaxation requires not only relaxing the mind, but also relaxing the whole body. Leadbeater firmly believes that this scientific research proves that vegetarianism is beneficial to human behavior, because vegetarianism produces a sense of peace and tranquility in this process. "This is similar to the state produced by meditation when the truth is deeply understood."
The above clearly explains why the smartest, most educated, most patient and most generous people in the world have been vegetarians for so many centuries. Although they come from all different fields of knowledge, such as science, philosophy, art, literature and medicine, they all choose to be vegetarians.
It is very clear that after people eat meat, blood brings the decomposition products of meat to the brain, which affects the function of the brain and makes people behave differently. I repeat, people will become impatient, quarrelsome and aggressive at this time; At this time, hatred replaces love, alienation replaces gregarious, and antisocial and violent behavior replaces communication and harmony. At the same time, people will unconsciously fall into an antisocial state and annoying individualism. And those who want to have power can achieve their goals as long as they divide and control the power. Those who have power also know very well how to use food as a weapon to change human behavior. Because this is the easiest way to achieve their goal, they do their best to encourage people to eat so-called delicious food that is dead and poisonous, especially meat. Their real purpose is to control our minds, and they want us to be judgmental. In short, vegetarians can get high IQ through food, while eating meat will make people depressed and less active. Meat will make us have behaviors that endanger individuals and society and reduce the level of serotonin in the blood. Eating protein every meal, protein contains a lot of meat, which will reduce the tryptophan content in the brain, leading to people's tendency to be aggressive, anxious and aggressive; If we can eat more fruits and vegetables grown on land according to the vegetarian principle, our behavior will be more active. Because the food we choose will affect our behavior and mood.
This is what Dr. Rossi wants to express, and this sentence has also been confirmed by the experiments of biologists John Furnstrom and Richard Heltman of the Department of Nutrition and Diet at MIT, that is, serotonin has the ability to promote drowsiness.
Some "nutritionists" who oppose vegetarianism (for various reasons, openly or unpublished) believe that human aggression is not caused by protein who eats meat, but that human nature is evil. This is an absurd statement, because no one is born aggressive or evil, but they can become so by eating meat. Luigi Lombardi Satriani, a famous archaeologist, said that blaming nature for violence is just an excuse to avoid our responsibility to society. Archaeologists have confirmed that no one is born a bad person, otherwise violence would have flooded the whole world. In fact, there are still ethnic groups with completely non-violent culture on the earth, such as some tribes in Africa, some tribes in the northwest Indian region of Brazil or some tribes in the Pialoa Indian region of Venezuela. They have established a very harmonious society on the basis of mutual cooperation, and children have no trajectory to follow in their growth. From the children's games, we can see their peaceful lifestyle, because there is singing, dancing and love. They don't know what hatred is. These people are vegetarians. This is the best evidence that diet can affect personality.
Let's not forget that people who eat meat often boast of their self-proclaimed superiority by being able to eat meat luxuriously, because they think meat is a symbol of fierceness and that they belong to a powerful class. But in order to eat meat, they must first use violence, kill animals and end their lives, so eating meat is equal to murder, and violence is inevitable. However, vegetarians have gained life and strength from Mother Earth. After eating vegetables with lofty energy, they are in a firm, calm and serene state of mind and body. Professor Carlo Sirtori, an outstanding clinical worker and scientist, clearly pointed out why eating meat makes human beings violent, because he found that the ratio of phosphorus and calcium in meat is 50: 1, and phosphorus has greatly exceeded the actual needs of human beings. Professor Storey said that low calcium concentration in the body will lead to irritability and some children will have convulsions.
